It isto be my hood or mask comprises a head portion which particularlynoted'that these sections extend en-i fits over the head and extendsfrom the forehead 'tirely across the head so that there is nomedial justabove the eyes downward nearly to the nape seam extending from theforehead to the lower V 40 of the neck, a chin supporting portion whichexedge of the posterior section. V The chin band, it '40 tends downwardfromthe middle of the'hood and will be seen, is attached to themid-section of extends beneath the chin, a neck portion which the hoodand disposed immediately beneath the 1 is disposed below the chinsupporting portion temple, the anterior peripheral edge of the chin Vand extends around the front of the neck nearly band running downwardand forward under the I to the nape of the neck and at the nape of thelower lip or slightly above the projection of the 45 neck is providedwith ribbons adapted to extend chin. The neck band I1 is in one pieceand is v around the neck and hold the neck portion firmly attached tothe posterior peripheral edge of the against the neck. chinband and tothe posterior edge of themid The hood is preferably made of three parts,a section II. The free ends of the neck band cross 7 front section itwhich as shown in Figure 6 at the back of the neck so that practicallythe 50 is generally speaking semi-circular incontour; entire neck fromfront to back is covered. The jf a middle portion I i, which I will termthe head ribbons 22 cross in the back of the neck and are ban which hasconvexly curved side edges, drawn forward and tie in front of the neck,thus I and which extends over the crown of the head eliminating anyknots, at the back of the head and is sewedto the front portion l0; andaback which would cause discomfort while sleeping. g

The fabric which forms the band and the neck band is elastic in thedirectionof'the great- 'est' length. This elasticity acts to yieldinglydraw the material of the chin band and neck band'up snugly againsttheouter surface of the chin, neck and cheeks softhat the flesh is heldfirmly in place and has aconstant' tendency to reduce Hanysagg'ing'muscles, and there is also a constant 1 tendency to pull theflesh or skin at the cheeks and under the eyes rearward, thusfcolmteracting any wrinkles beneath the eyes'and any-downward sagging ofthe cheeks but acting to draw the ti toitheir natural position.

It will beseen that the neck band covers th fure neat over night andthis is particularly' necessaryafter the hair has, J been dressed." Thishoodor mask also protects thepillows and'bed clothesfrom'becoming-soiled with beautycifeam. 7 "As an applicator, this hoodor'm'ask is used in' conjunction with the necessary creams and lotions,which a'idjin correcting flabbiness, toning up the muscles and feedingthe 'skin with'desired creams and lotions, thus building up'the tissuesand creating a youthful appearance; p

1 As before stated, the chin band and thence band are elastic each inthe direction of its'length. The head band, however, which'is theportion II, has a two-way pull, that ;is;it stretches in' twodirections, this being nece$ary iii-order: that the hood may be slippedover the hem- T Once on the head,- the hood: or head portion staysplaced.

The chin band whichis attached "to the head band had a onedirectionalpull-along its length so that the v constant pressure exertedonl the chin muscles and'the cheek muscles by the will reduce the chinmuscles and the cheek muscle s. :-,Tmsa1s applies to the neckbandll,that is, its elasticity is in the direction of its length so that the'amountof pull on the "ties 22will:

exert a constantpressure' on the chin andineck muscles, thereby reducingthese muscles. I

Creams, 1otions,;salves or any medicaments can be applied 'to the innersurface'of the chin and. V

neck band and then the device placed in position;

on the respective parts'of. the head. Thus this hood will serve as amedicinal applicatoras well as a cream applicator. V

This device may also be used for retaining the contiguous parts offractures inplace and in, the

healing of fractures of the mandible and maxilla.

Whilc I have illustrated a particular construction of this hood, andillustrated this hood as being formed of five pieces, ,I do not wish tobe limited thereto, nor to the .use of lastex or net in the constructionof the hood as the head portion,flthe; chin and the neck band might beknitted inone piece or the head portion knitted :in'one piece andthechin and neck' band knitted in one piece and attached to the headportion t below the temple.
